This new three-story, 78,770 SF Open Heart - OR Addition is being constructed above the hospitals’ existing emergency department on the first floor.

Spaces located within the expansion are: an Open Heart Suite which will occupy the second floor and include two operating rooms, one hybrid O.R., and 19 CVICU private patient rooms. The third floor will house a Catheter Suite comprised of three cath. labs and one electro-physiology procedure room. Also located on this floor is a Critical Care Unit consisting of 16 private rooms and eight prep/recovery beds. Three wings containing an Intensive Care Unit with 31 private rooms will occupy the fourth floor. One of these wings will serve as a VIP section, offering its patients larger rooms, upgraded finishes, and higher nurse to patient ratios.

Throughout construction, the emergency department will remain operational without any disruptions. All ground floor tie-in work will be phased with the awarded contractor providing soundless construction.

When complete, this expansion will offer its open heart patients an impressive surgical facility featuring the latest equipment within a compassionate, healing environment.
